What's Your Most Recent NSV

I think I heard a little voice in my head yesterday at the gym telling me...."go ahead add more weight...what are you waiting for...."sometimes I look at my 53 year old self standing in front of that DL bar wondering wtf are you thinking.... Yesterday I listened to the voice and I did it. 210 pounds.....off the ground. Who am I? There was a day I could barely lift my 267 pound self off the sofa. Joy. Pure joy.

Over the weekend, I completed my first 4.5 mile run in 2 years. I was sidelined with ankle injury and surgery and the comeback has been slow.

I ran my first continuous 5 kilometers on Friday. Today's run (25 minutes) was less mileage but it was just for fun. FOR FUN. Who even am I?

I felt like I went pretty crazy with my eating on Saturday, spending time with friends and dining out 3 times in the same day, and just for fun I did an honest logging of the day (after the fact) and I'm pretty sure I was only about 400 calories over, and got in a little exercise that I didn't even log, to boot. I could have also had beer and more sweets but I didn't, and I was more than satisfied with what I did have. This is a big deal for me because even years into this stuff I sometimes lack hunger/satiety cues.

A friend complimented me on my high cheekbones, I guess you couldn't see them before weight loss.

I hope this isn’t tmi but I bought a sports bra for the very first time over the weekend. It’s a victory for me just for the fact that I need one with how fast and far I’m walking now.

AwesomeSquirrel · April 2018

I had pizza tonight and I only had 2/3 whereas before I would have had the whole. Saving the rest for dinner tomorrow.

SamSam194 · April 2018

I started in January of this year and I have surprisingly kept up with my goals! All my clothes from before my weight gain fit! I can also run a solid 20 minutes without dying..(this one is huge for me since I’ve never been able to run longer than 5 minutes) and I’m still able to do the rest of my 1hr workout.

IILikeToMoveItMoveIt · April 2018

I checked a mark on my bucket list. Always wanted to run and after 5 months of training finished my first 5k! Very proud of myself!

concordancia · May 2018

I skipped a size in Costco's travel pants. Mostly. I mean, the 12s probably fit as well as the 16s did when I bought them, but I think I will keep wearing the 16s a little while yet.

KnitterNotAQuitter · May 2018

I visited Pier 39 and Alcatraz in San Francisco Saturday and climbed hills equivalent of 22 floors and walked more than 5 miles! (And I’ve logged 9K+ steps Sunday and Monday this week.) I never would have been able to do that before I started getting healthy, and if I can do that now at ~290, just thinking about what I’ll be able to do in the future is mind-blowing!

jefamer2017 · May 2018

Wearing a pair of pants that I bought 4 years ago and never wore. I bought them when I lost weight before and could almost fit then. I never fit into them. I also did 8 pushups with proper form. 2 months ago I couldn't do one.

KcRavassa · May 2018

I woke up and decided today is the day I bike to work. I haven't been on a bike in at least two years... I did 16 miles this morning, didn't take as long as I thought I would, and arrived at about the same time I would normally. Victory for sure!

The_Canadian_Apex · May 2018

For the first time in over 2 years, I finally fit back into my size 32 jeans. They are a little snug still, but I'm getting closer to being where I used to be.

drkuhl2017 · May 2018

I'm overcoming my eating disorder, today I am 9 days binge free! This is huge for me because before I was binging multiple times every day.

NewBetterBest18 · May 2018

I'm always in those non-form fitting scrubs so when I stopped into my job at the hospital wearing street clothes, I had co-workers complimenting me and even hugging me saying how "great" I looked. One guy confessed that he didn't even recognize me. He hadn't seen me in a while. That made my day!

kalahmarii · May 2018

Just tried on my high school grad hoodie from 5 years ago... I probably only weigh 10-20lbs less than I did then, but I'm quite a bit smaller than I was. More muscle mass I suppose!

I'm getting quite good on the rower.

2000 meters in 08:22.

About 3 years ago I once did it under 8 minutes which is really fast but 08:22 is my quickest since then which I completed last week.
